As of the Firmware v3, **Paddle Mapping** for STRIKEPACK™ Dominator for PS4® has been reworked to be similar to more recent products like STRIKEPACK HORIZON™. Direct Mapping has been replaced with a dedicated **Mapping Mode** that helps to prevent accidental remapping. This dedicated mode is entered exclusively through the **left-hand unlabeled button**:

{% hint style="danger" icon="power-off" %}
**NOTE:** The right-hand unlabeled button has been repurposed into a [**Restart**](/dominator_eliminator_newexperience/strikepack-dominator-for-ps4/restart-strikepack.md) button.
{% endhint %}

***

Unlike Horizon (which can have near unlimited configurations), Paddle mappings here are a single configuration shared between **Tournament Mode** & <mark style="color:blue;">**New Experience M.O.D. Mode**</mark>, just as they were before. Since different games often use different control schemes, you may want to remap the Paddles when switching games.

Check out the quick demonstration of Mapping Mode below, or follow the steps on this page for more detailed instructions:

<h3 align="center"><strong>Enter Mapping Mode</strong></h3>

You can enter **Mapping Mode** from **Tournament Mode** or <mark style="color:blue;">**New Experience M.O.D. Mode**</mark>; it doesn't matter because it's the same mapping across both.&#x20;

To enter the **Mapping Mode**, <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**hold**</mark> the **Mapping Mode** button (left-hand unlabeled button) for <mark style="color:$danger;">**300ms+**</mark>.

<p align="center">While in Mapping Mode, all <strong>8 LEDs</strong> light up dimly.</p>

<p align="center">When exiting Mapping Mode, all <strong>8 LEDs</strong> blink brightly.</p>

**NOTE:** To exit Mapping Mode at any point, <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">**tap** either one of the unlabeled buttons.

<h3 align="center"><strong>Map to a Paddle</strong></h3>

When in **Mapping Mode**, while <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**holding**</mark> the desired **Controller Button**, <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">**tap** the desired **Paddle** to map to it. The <mark style="color:blue;">**right-hand 4 LEDs**</mark> will blink brightly to confirm the button has been successfully mapped.

**NOTE:** You can <img src="/files/WKxGM5nEvfMbZOqHLzmA" alt="" data-size="line"><mark style="color:$danger;">**hold**</mark> multiple **Controller Buttons** simultaneously to be mapped to a single Paddle, but be aware that this is incompatible with Paddle Button M.O.D.s that use the Paddle mapping. See the example of 2 buttons being mapped below:

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

<h3 align="center"><strong>Clear a Paddle</strong></h3>

When in **Mapping Mode**, to **clear** the desired **Paddle** of any button mappings, make sure you are *not* touching any buttons, then <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">**tap** the **Paddle**. The <mark style="color:blue;">**left-hand 4 LEDs**</mark> will blink brightly to confirm the Paddle has been successfully cleared.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

<h3 align="center"><strong>Save &#x26; Exit Mapping Mode</strong></h3>

To save & exit Mapping Mode, <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">**press & release** either one of the unlabeled buttons. All **8 LEDs** will blink brightly as you're exiting Mapping Mode.

Now that you've mapped your Paddles, most pages past this point cover optional M.O.D. (Macro On Demand) use. Next, we'll show you how to navigate the Config Menu, so you can start using M.O.D.s:

[**Menu: Category Navigation**](/dominator_eliminator_newexperience/strikepack-dominator-for-ps4/menu-category-navigation.md)

{% hint style="danger" icon="forward" %}
If you're *not* a M.O.D. user (only interested in Tournament Mode), [**skip the M.O.D. pages here**](/dominator_eliminator_newexperience/strikepack-dominator-for-ps4/memory-clear.md).
